Food From The Crypt- Oatmeal Swirlers

The more things I think of that I used to eat when I was little, the more I realize that not many people remember the same items. Take for instance Oatmeal Swirlers. I feel like I am the only person that ate this stuff. It was made by General Mills and was available from the mid to late 80's in the cereal aisle. Every package of oatmeal came with a flavored jelly packet, and aside from flavoring the oatmeal, you were supposed to be able to make cool designs drawing with the packet, using the oatmeal as a canvas. Of course the jelly never spread like in the commercials so I just mixed it all in and ate away. I remember the flavors being strawberry, maple, chocolate, and apple cinnamon. Strawberry was always my favorite, to me the other flavors tasted funky. I have included some pictures and the commercial below, maybe it will help jog some memories. Who knows, I might not have been the only one that liked Oatmeal Swirlers.

You are not alone... I remember having Oatmeal Swirlers back when I was in middle school and/or high school (I preferred the fruit variety pack--strawberry, cherry and apple cinnamon--and I wish they would have made blueberry and raspberry flavors as well).

About Me

Growing up in the 80's had a huge impact on me. The culture, both pop and political, to me was better at that time. I wanted to create a blog to walk us all down memory lane for the greatest decade ever. We miss the 80's.
